    A true Liberal Arts College

    The statement that "there is no god" would create just as much of a potential hostile environment as someone writing "there is a god". Doesn't matter if it is a fact or opinion. Think of all the things people say about other sexes, races, etc. In many cases those are not facts but opinions...

    Scholarship Information

    A member of our Parents Club has a daughter at USAFA who will be getting a scholarship from their church. Who at USAFA could they talk to about the rules or regulations governing scholarships? They (and the church) want to make sure they handle it correctly. Thank you.

    Non-military familes

    We can relate to your situation. We are non-military and my daughter did not even think of USAFA until the spring of her junior year when we were looking for summer camps to go to. The USAFA summer Seminar came up when we Googled for summer camps. She thought it sounded interesting so applied...

    Job Assignments

    I am also not military so do not know if this year is the norm or not, but we heard through our parents club that about 2/3's got their first choice, with the remaining 1/3 getting their 2nd choice (except for a handful of cadets that got "needs of the air force" assignments). Obviously not...

    PRK vs. Lasik

    Our daughter had PRK in January of her junior year (she is now a senior). Her and 2 friends had it done at the same time, and the pain/recovery was different for all 3, but all 3 are pleased with the results. She did have to give us skiing for the rest of the ski season but for her it was...

    C4C AMA: Ask me anything!

    The reason for staying until the end of the game could simply be no more than "impressions". With virtually all football games televised today, how would it look if at the end of a game the television camera pans over the USAFA student section and it is almost empty. That would be typical at a...

    Can anyone with daughters please post their fitness test times?

    At time of admission my daughter also struggled with pullups. She did the flex arm hang for her CFA. She is at USAFA now and last spring did 5 pullups. What worked for her was doing reverse pullups. This is where you start in the pullup position, which may require someone to help or having a...

    AF/Navy game cancelled

    Make no mistake about it, football revenue is the driver of revenue generation for colleges and universities. That is why all the conference re-alignment that has occurred in the past few years and will occur again over the next few years is driven by football programs, not any other sport, not...

    Effects of Gov't Shutdown

    I would just be interested in what other parents are hearing from their cadets as to how they are being affected by the government shutdown. I know USAFA has released information in a broad nature, but just curious as to how individual cadets are being impacted, if much at all. For...

    USAFA Majors

    Our daughter is having difficulty deciding on a major. She is trying to decide between Operation Research and Management. She keeps hearing people say that unless you have a specific occupation in mind (i.e. civil engineering, etc) take the easiest major you can in order to get as high of a...

    4*s Get New Squadron Assignments

    New Squadrons I have not gone to the Academy nor have I been in the Air Force so I do not have any history from which to speak, but someone wrote on another forum about a cadet going to Squadron One and people telling him "sorry to hear that", while one other was disappointed he didn't get into...

    Questions for a Freshman Cadet

    Jezzie, great job addressing the multitude of questions that people have regarding USAFA from the perspective of someone who is currently going through it, especially as a 4th class (freshman) and as a woman. As a parent with no military experience, let alone no Service Academy experience, we...
